Tuesday Talks: Visionary Leadership and Strategic Planning in Museums*

August's Tuesday Talks will focus on the critical role of visionary leadership, strategic planning, and forward-thinking approaches in driving innovation and growth within museum institutions. This session will highlight the importance of letting go of outdated practices and embracing new paths for growth and innovation. The discussion will explore how curiosity, enthusiasm, and a willingness to learn can foster a culture of innovation. Participants will be encouraged to take action from a place of emotional authenticity, compassion, and a deep connection to their vision, ensuring their strategic goals are clear, achievable, and aligned with the institution's vision. Featuring panelists:

• Charity Counts: Executive Director, Association of Midwest Museums
• Jenn Landry: Director of Museums for the City of Irving.
• Ahmad Ward: Executive Director of Hilton Head's Historic Mitchelville Freedom Park.

We know museum people, so we know you're not happy with being disconnected from your sites, so we're pulling together some online chats to stay connected over the coming weeks.
